PLANCK'S FORMULA DESCRIBES THE UNIVERSE AS NON CONTINUOUS BUT QUANTIZED



Based on Planck's formula, energy (E) can be defined as:

E = hν

Where:

- E = energy (in Joules, J)

- h = Planck constant (6.62607015 × 10^-34 J s)

- ν = frequency (in Hertz, Hz)

This equation shows that energy is directly proportional to frequency, with Planck's constant serving as the proportionality factor.

Interpretation:

1. Energy is quantized, existing in discrete packets (quanta) rather than being continuous.

2. Frequency determines the energy of each quantum.

3. Higher frequency corresponds to higher energy.

4. Planck's constant (h) relates energy and frequency.

Physical Significance:

1. Photon energy (E = hν) explains light's particle-like behavior.

2. Quantization of energy resolves the "ultraviolet catastrophe" in black-body radiation.

3. Forms the basis for quantum mechanics and its applications.

Extension to Other Forms of Energy:

1. Kinetic energy: E = (1/2)mv^2 (related to frequency via de Broglie wavelength)

2. Potential energy: E = mgh (related to frequency via vibrational modes)

3. Thermal energy: E = kT (related to frequency via phonons)

Planck's formula provides a fundamental connection between energy and frequency, revolutionizing our understanding of the physical world.

Planck's formula!

Planck's formula describes the energy distribution of black-body radiation, relating intensity to frequency. It's a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics and thermodynamics.

Planck's Formula:

B(ν,T) = (hν/c^2) * 1 / (e^(hν/kT) - 1)

Where:

- B(ν,T) = spectral radiance

- ν = frequency

- T = temperature (in Kelvin)

- h = Planck constant (6.62607015 × 10^-34 J s)

- c = speed of light (299792458 m/s)

- k = Boltzmann constant (1.38064852 × 10^-23 J/K)

Key Implications:

1. Introduced quantisation of energy (E = hν)

2. Explained black-body radiation spectrum

3. Led to development of quantum theory

4. Related energy and frequency (E = hf)

Applications:

1. Thermal radiation

2. Quantum mechanics

3. Statistical mechanics

4. Cosmology

But this formula is different from that of Albert Einstein who said Energy is E=MC*2

Where C*2 is the speed of light.

What does Erwin Schrödinger say about Energy?
